:mad::mad: Put a little bet on the first 180 in the match between barny and scotty. BArny gets the first 180 in the second throw of the match yet stan james says my bet lost.

not happy! did anyone see it.....Sky wont let me rewind that far to see it again.
 
Doesn't matter, not many replies there :)

Scotty is throwing it away.... (excuse the pun)
 
Want Scotty to win myself, only because he's played so well in this tournament and is the underdog (so to speak) in this match.
 
Just watched it back and Barnevelds first throw was a 140 (second dart was just below the treble)

I knew it! I emailed stan james querying the result of my lost bet. THey replied very quick saying they would review it and have now changed it to a win. gives me some of the fiver back I placed on barny to win :o
 
It's ashame Barney is always so easily beaten once he's behind... such a good player but once he feels he's lost it, can see he just gives up. Loses belief in himself so easily.

He's been awful since Las Vegas a few years ago where he was beating Taylor and lost 16-13. Kinda went nuts on stage, gibbering nonsense and hasn't been the same since.

Gibbering nonsense to himself? Trying to copy your technique Daz ;) :p :D

I've calmed down a hell of a lot actually, playing really solid lately. Was banging in 140's like they were nothing the other night, only won 2-1 even though I played out of my skin. 3 140's, a 133 and a 131, and in 4 legs only used 5 darts to hit doubles. :)

You playing Superleague then?

Nope, not good enough for that! My trouble is consistency, big time. I'll hit a 140 and follow up with 26/30/31, or something equally as turd. The longer the games go on the worse I get as well, when practicing in the pub with some team-mates, in the first 2 legs I had 2 tons and a 140 and hit both doubles easily, ended up losing 3-2 after being 2-0 up. Second game me and my mate lost 3-0 because I'd totally lost the weight, everything was dropping short so I tried aiming higher and it didn't work out at all. Got too frustrated and played even worse :p

My mate's dad played in the Torquay open last weekend - £150 for 3rd, one of his team-mates came 2nd for £500, winner took £1k, who was another player in our district league.

Super league players average 60-65 minimum, the top players in the league are averaging 90+. I can't do that :p
